Need help with channels

Hello

I am new to Rogers cable and have basic pack for now. On web site I have found an option to add channels:
- animal planet
- discovery civilisation
- national geographic

The first question is if they are HD channels?

And here is second question:
I have found that rogers offers HD theme pack - HD NATURE AND ADVENTURE
And it costs almost the same as first three channels

So - what would you recommend: choose three individual channels or subscribe to theme pack?

thank you!

1) Animal Planet not available in HD
2) Discovery Civilization is being rebranded to Investigation Discovery, also not available in HD
3) Only National Geographic is available in HD
4) If you want real HD channels, I recommend the HD Nature & Adventure Pack.

As I understand in general HD NATURE AND ADVENTURE has similar tv shows/films as discover, animal and national geographic?

am I right?

thank you

Get also the HD SPECIALTY PACK and you will get Discovery World HD and HDNet.

Hello

Does Rogers have a channel to view Formula One racing in basic package?

thank you

TSN, RDS and SpeedTV are your only options.

Speed only has Practice this year, TSN has qualifying and the races

Speed Channel has not been granted rights to broadcast the event

I stand corrected

Speed Channel has not been granted rights to broadcast the event

Only the live broadcasts are blacked out. Speed repeats the qualifying and race during the day and night, which isn't blacked out. (A repeat of the Singaport GP is on Speed right now.) If you don't need to see it live, you may prefer Speed's commentators, strategic commercial placement and recaps of what happened during the commercials. TSN is a stick-and-ball oriented network and often cuts the driver interviews short in favour of Sports Desk repeats. The British commentators ob the feed that TSN uses don't know when TSN throws in commercials, so you can miss stuff.
